Ninja Looting

[Vandarial]

In this hypothetical situation...

Say everyone is level 70. And the group is made up of all level 70 players:
Shadow knight (fighter)
Warden (priest)
Fury (priest)
Ranger (scout)
Conjurer (magician)
Paladin (fighter)
and in the this place say Oblelisk of Blight (lvl 65 to 70 heroic instance) a level 69 cloak (magician only) drops. Every ones tells the magician gratz man wtg. And everyone hits decline. The Conj then gets the cloak and all is well.

However,!!!
When the Paladin doesn't hit decline wins the item that is a by far upgrade for the mage. Refuses to give the mage the cloak because in NBG he has need and he wants it and is tired of giving things to people cause he has to have money for crafting his toon to lvl 70. Even though the greedy $%$@#@&^#% can't use it. Let alone play his own class worth a flip. Has never heard of ninja looting, need before greed, never knew what taunt was for until someone told him at lvl 70.

Thank goodness this is all hypothetical. Otherwise I don't think anyone would want to play with that jack@55

If you get to max level in this game without knowing basic loot rules, then well... I'm not sure if I want to think about how dense that person is.

This is sounding like it isn't so hypothetical

Ninjalooting can happen differently. In this situation, the OP didn't win the item even on a fair roll, the other members all declined to let the ranger or mage win the two items.

For the sake of the argument, if there was some discrepancy that it was not (I see that it most likely was a nbg group) a NBG group, then it would have been wrong for the OP to take the item and not reroll it as all the members declined but the OP and the person the item was for. Did the OP let the group know that he thought the group was not NBG and then offer to reroll it among everyone so it was then fair under what the OP understood the loot rules were for the group? I somehow think the answer to the last half of my question is NO...to which I say..your argument for keeping the item is weak. Of course offering the item to a guildmate later in order to get rid of guilt when guildmates tell you what you did was wrong also makes the argument weak.

Furthermore, I think disbanding, gating, and logging from the group is utter poor taste and proves that you probably know right vs. wrong is. Of course guildmates having to pool their money together to buy the mage cloak to replace the ninja'd one is lame so that they could keep their good name.

But this is only hypothetical.

Well I think in order to understand it, you have have to want to understand it. Say in this hypothetical situation you have guild members and members of another guild that just helped you do something you couldnt accomplish on your own. Several items dropped that would be huge upgrades for the people in the group, and they were items that you yourself could not use. If, in this hypothetical situation, you happened to be the only person rolling with the only person that could use the item to begin with, that would make you unobservant and lucky it wasnt a no trade item. Now after winning the item saying something like "oops" or "here you go" is usually what happens. When the hypothetical person then leaves the group, kick ass item in hand, that is where the line is crossed into ninja looting. Anyone worth anything would know that, but when selfishness meets a person that doesnt know how to play the game(let alone there class) to begin with, thats really what you end up with. So I think maybe the question needs to be how in the hell would this hypothetical person lvl all the way to level cap and not know any of this?
